Show HN: SimpleBlock – like uBlock but with global switch
- godot 10y agoHi HN, dev here. No breakthrough or anything here, I like uBlock Origin (my favorite extension of its kind), but I hated that there is no global power switch and only a whitelist button. I personally don't like whitelisting, and prefer to only switch it off and on when needed. Don't know if there is anyone else like me out there, so I released this to public and see. I might add a feature or two down the road.
- therealmarv 10y agoI use Incognito mode for the same behaviour so it does not get messed up with my logged in sites data. But use it only e.g. when booking flights etc. (don't trust adblocking on critical bookings... shooted myself in the foot once with that)
- godot 10y agoInteresting. I use Incognito mode pretty extensively nowadays (pretty much whenever I google anything silly that I don't want google to remember me having searched for it, like needing to buy random items online that I'm not regularly interested in, etc.), and I actually want my adblocker to be active even in Incognito. (I enable simpleBlock on Incognito for this reason)
